Baseball Tonight is an American television program that airs on ESPN. The show, which covers the day's Major League Baseball action, has been on the air since 1990. Its namesake program also airs on ESPN Radio at various times of the day during the baseball season, with Marc Kestecher as host.

Baseball Tonight is also the title of a daily podcast hosted by Buster Olney with frequent appearances by Tim Kurkjian, Karl Ravech, and others from ESPN and more places.

In 2017, daily airing of the show, other than its Sunday airing, was replaced by MLB Network's Intentional Talk, which stopped airing on ESPN2 in December 2018[1][2] As of December 27, 2019, Baseball Tonight airs on Sundays before Sunday Night Baseball, and during the week for major events such as the MLB All-Star Game, College World Series, MLB Postseason, MLB Trade Deadline and Winter Meetings, along with SportsCenter segments during the season.[3]
